Calpine Corporation is America’s largest generator of electricity from natural gas and geothermal resources with robust commercial, industrial and residential retail operations in key competitive power markets. Because we use clean fuel and renewable resources, Calpine also ranks among the cleanest power generators in the nation. Founded in 1984, we use advanced technologies to generate power in an efficient, cost-effective and environmentally responsible manner.  Click the links below to learn more about why Calpine is America’s premier power generation company.

An evolution is underway in America’s power markets, driven by several key factors:

• The abundance of domestic shale natural gas is expected to keep prices low for the foreseeable future.
• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is pushing for more stringent regulations to protect the future of the planet.
• Electrical system operators are increasingly focused on compensating generators based on operating performance to ensure transmission grid reliability.

In this environment, Calpine’s modern fleet stands uniquely well-positioned to benefit from the secular trends that are moving America toward clean, affordable natural gas as the preferred fuel of power generation.
